Lord, When in Simon's House of Yore

Author: Sarah E. Henshaw Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4112 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1. Lord, when in Simon’s house of yore, Thou with Thy friends didst sit at meat, Mary the precious spikenard bore, And poured it at Thy sacred feet. 2. Like incense sweet, the perfume rare, Rose through the house, and sought the skies; And Thou didst own with blessing there A woman’s loving sacrifice. 3. So unto Thee, O Lord, this day, A year of labor here we bring; So at Thy feet the gift we lay; Accept, O Lord, the offering. Languages: English Tune Title: BERA

O Thou to Whose All Searching Sight

Author: Nikolaus L. von Zinzendorf; John Wesley Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5383 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1. O Thou to whose all searching sight The darkness shineth as the light, Search, prove my heart; it pants for Thee; O burst these bonds, and set it free! 2. Wash out its stains, refine its dross, Nail my affections to the cross; Hallow each thought; let all within Be clean, as Thou, my Lord, art clean! 3. If in this darksome wild I stray, Be Thou my light, be Thou my way; No foes, no violence I fear, No fraud, while Thou, my God, art near. 4. When rising floods my soul o’erflow, When sinks my heart in waves of woe, Jesu, Thy timely aid impart, And raise my head, and cheer my heart. 5. Savior, where’er Thy steps I see, Dauntless, untired, I follow thee! O let Thy hand support me still, And lead me to Thy holy hill! 6. If rough and thorny be the way, My strength proportion to my day; Till toil, and grief, and pain shall cease, Where all is calm, and joy, and peace. Languages: English Tune Title: BERA

Say, Sinner! Hath a Voice Within?

Author: Abigail B. Hyde Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5894 Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Say, sinner! hath a voice within Lyrics: 1. Say, sinner! hath a voice within Oft whispered to thy secret soul, Urged thee to leave the ways of sin, And yield thy heart to God’s control? 2. Hath something met thee in the path Of worldliness and vanity, And pointed to the coming wrath, And warned thee from that wrath to flee? 3. Sinner! it was a heavenly voice— It was the Spirit’s gracious call; It bade thee make the better choice, And haste to seek in Christ thine all. 4. Spurn not the call to life and light; Regard, in time, the warning kind; That call thou mayst not always slight, And yet the gate of mercy find. 5. God’s Spirit will not always strive With hardened, self-destroying man; Ye who persist His love to grieve, May never hear His voice again. 6. Sinner! perhaps this very day, Thy last accepted time may be: O shouldst thou grieve Him now away, Then hope may never beam on thee. Languages: English Tune Title: BERA

This Spacious Earth Is All the Lord's

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #6654 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1. This spacious earth is all the Lord’s, And men, and worms, and beasts, and birds: He raised the building on the seas, And gave it for their dwelling place. 2. But there’s a brighter world on high, Thy palace, Lord, above the sky: Who shall ascend that blest abode, And dwell so near his Maker God? 3. He that abhors and fears to sin, Whose heart is pure, whose hands are clean, Him shall the Lord the Savior bless, And clothe his soul with righteousness. 4. These are the men, the pious race, That seek the God of Jacob’s face: These shall enjoy the blissful sight, And dwell in everlasting light. 5. Rejoice, ye shining worlds on high, Behold the King of glory nigh! Who can this King of glory be? The mighty Lord, the Savior’s He. 6. Ye heav’nly gates, your leaves display, To make the Lord the Savior way: Laden with spoils from earth and hell, The Conqueror comes with God to dwell. 7. Raised from the dead, He goes before; He opens Heav’n’s eternal door, To give His saints a blest abode, Near their Redeemer and their God. Languages: English Tune Title: BERA

O Lord, regard the prayer of those Who love the walls of Zion well, Whose hearts are heavy for her woes, Who sad amid her ruins dwell. 4. Thy power and glory shall appear, And Zion’s walls shall be restored; Then all the kings of earth shall fear And heathen nations serve the Lord. 5. The Lord has heard and answered prayer And saved His people in distress; This to the coming age declare, That they His holy name may bless. 6. The Lord, exalted on His throne, Looked down from Heaven with pitying eye To still the lowly captive’s moan And save His people doomed to die. 7. All men in Zion shall declare His gracious name with one accord, When kings and nations gather there To serve and worship God the Lord. Languages: English Tune Title: BERA

In Thee we live, we glory now; Our joy, our rest, our great reward, Our diadem of beauty, Thou! 5. And when exalted, Lord, with Thee, Thy royal throne at length we share; To everlasting Thou shalt be Our diadem, our glory there! Languages: English Tune Title: BERA

While I Keep Silence, and Conceal

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7399 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1. While I keep silence, and conceal My heavy guilt within my heart, What torments doth my conscience feel! What agonies of inward smart! 2. I spread my sins before the Lord, And all my secret faults confess; Thy Gospel speaks a pardoning word, Thine Holy Spirit seals the grace. 3. For this shall every humble soul Make swift addresses to Thy seat; When floods of huge temptations roll, There shall they find a blest retreat. 4. How safe beneath Thy wings I lie, When days grow dark and storms appear; And when I walk, Thy watchful eye Shall guide me safe from every snare. Languages: English Tune Title: BERA

With Firm Resolve I Held My Peace

Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7520 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1. With firm resolve I held my peace And spake not either bad or good, Lest I should utter sinful thoughts While wicked men before me stood. 2. While I was dumb my grief was stirred, My heart grew hot with thought suppressed; The while I mused the fire increased, Then to the Lord I made request. 3. Make me, O Lord, to know my end, Teach me the measure of my days, That I may know how frail I am And turn from pride and sinful ways. 4. My time is nothing in Thy sight, Behold, my days are but a span; Yea, truly, at his best estate, A breath, a fleeting breath, is man. 5. Man’s life is passed in vain desire If troubled years be spent for gain; He knows not whose his wealth shall be, And all his toil is but in vain. 6. And now, O Lord, what wait I for? I have no hope except in Thee; Let not ungodly men reproach, From all transgressions set me free. 7. Because Thou didst it I was dumb, I spoke no word of rash complaint; Remove Thy stroke away from me, Beneath Thy chastisement I faint. 8. When Thou for his iniquity Rebukest and correctest man, His beauty is consumed away; How weak his strength, how vain his plan. 9. Lord, hear my prayer, regard my cry; I weep; be Thou my Comforter. I am a stranger here below, A pilgrim as my fathers were. 10. O spare me, Lord, avert Thy wrath, Deal gently with me, I implore, That I may yet recover strength Ere I go hence and be no more.

The Way Of Sorrows

Author: William C. Dix Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10801 Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: O Lord, the wilderness to me Lyrics: 1 O Lord, the wilderness to me A very paradise shall be, Since Thou for forty days wast there, In fasting, solitude and prayer. 2 Unworthy though these feet to rest On ground Thy footsteps once have blest, The way of sorrows shall be mine, Made sweet because it first was Thine. 3 Lord, let me find some lowly place Where I may seek Thy pitying face, And plead with Thee by Olivet, By agony, and bloody sweat. 4 Some quiet aisle or dim recess Shall make for me a wilderness; And surely angels shall be there To wait on penitence and prayer. 5 Nor is this all: for I would know The depth of shame, the crown of woe Stand by the stricken Mother’s side, While Thou art mocked and crucified. 6 And then in hours of saddest gloom I still will watch around Thy tomb, Till with the day new joy be born, And Thou shalt rise on Easter morn. 7 O blessèd thought, that faith can see In every altar—Calvary, Find there the loving arms outspread, And fall before the fallen Head. 8 Come King of kings, come Light of light: The Bride awaits the day all bright, When she shall lift, her mourning o’er, The shout of Paschal joy once more.

How Kind The Good Samaritan

Author: John Newton Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11911 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 How kind the good Samaritan To him who fell among the thieves! Thus Jesus pities fallen men, And heals the wounds the soul receives. 2 Oh! I remember well the day, When sorely wounded, nearly slain, Like that poor man I bleeding lay, And groaned for help, but groaned in vain. 3 Men saw me in this helpless case, And passed without compassion by; Each neighbor turned away his face, Unmoved by my mournful cry. 4 But He whose name had been my scorn (As Jews Samaritans despise) Came when He saw me thus forlorn, With love and pity in His eyes. 5 Gently He raised me from the ground, Pressed me to lean upon His arm; And into every gaping wound, He poured His own all-healing balm. 6 Unto His church my steps He led, The house prepared for sinners lost; Gave charge I should be clothed and fed, And took upon Him all the cost. 7 Thus saved from death, from want secured, I wait till He again shall come, When I shall be completely cured, And take me to His heavenly home. 8 There through eternal boundless days When nature’s wheel no longer rolls; How shall I love, adore, and praise, This good Samaritan to souls!
